I have just uploaded to CRAN a new version 3.2.0.1948 of Rtools for Windows. This will become visible there in a few hours, and be copied to mirrors thereafter. People who want to build packages that include compiled code can use this to supply the compilers, etc., that are necessary for the build. It also includes some extra materials for people who want to build R itself.

This version includes only minor updates to the tools. I indicated last summer that I was hoping to update GCC from the current version 4.6.3 before the R 3.2.0 release, but this now looks unlikely, unless someone else with experience building it can help. (I need a new build script for it that I can run, not just a binary copy. So far I have been unsuccessful in updating the scripts inhttp://www.stats.ox.ac.uk/pub/Rtools/multilib/multi.zip , or finding other scripts online that work.)
